What's in a Name?
Why "Spring Creek"?
Spring Creek got its name because it starts from a clear natural spring. A spring is a place where underground water flows up to the surface. This means the creek's water was once very clear and fresh right from its beginning.
Changes Over Time
However, a newspaper article from 1970 reported a change. It said that the water in Spring Creek had become muddy. This muddiness was caused by pollution from nearby industries. This shows how human activities can affect natural waterways.
